Prepaid Electric Smart Metering Scheme with GSM and Microcontroller

Abstract: Electricity consumption in different countries especially in the developing are suffering huge losses due to electricity theft and many other losses which are happened at the time of power transmission and due to another factor of power transmission. In developing countries, the utilities of electricity are facing difficulties in collecting electric bill in full scale. So, the prepaid metering system is becoming popular for ensuring the collection of bills in advance. In this paper, the structure of a smart system for prepaid electricity metering scheme has been developed. This is based on collection of electric energy data from consumer ends to the source end vice-versa it means it is a two-way communication system between source and consumer This process for power utilization is secured electricity and reduce the theft and losses and also control them and provide better efficiency of power at the consumer end and the source end.
